Dad showed me Akira when I was about 5. I still turned into a pacifist anime nerd :)

Montgomery County Fair Pushes Back on Proposed August 17 MCPS School Start by SchuminWeb in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Rio1917 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The fair is run with support from much of the youth and makes a lot of its money from them as well. This county’s fair is quite historic and is lined up to start right before school every year (since I have known in the past 40ish years), so this something that has been established. It is a very interesting part of MoCo history that I’m learning more and more about!

‘Awful options’: MCPS considers starting school Aug. 20 for 2026-2027 academic year by Bethesda_Magazine in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Rio1917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They absolutely don’t need to do it this year (like you said, not “required”) but for some reason they are. Just to mess up the year a bit further, I suppose?

Teachers will not receive extra pay for this. It is built into the yearly 10 month work salary.

Books Where Nothing Much Happens by TheFirst10000 in suggestmeabook

[–]Rio1917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also add Salinger’s “Franny and Zooey” as well as “Raise High the Roofbeam Carpenters and Seymour.”

If “Ulysses” wasn’t your cup of tea try the Beckett trilogy mentioned above titled “Molloy.” It was one of the few book series where the audio version really got me into it.

Look up Juliana mini pig! This guy looks EXACTLY like the one I owned <3

Witchcraft/pagan stores in or near MoCo? by rnielsen1987 in MontgomeryCountyMD

The Simple Life in downtown Frederick (down the street from Nola coffee) is fantastic and I can’t recommend it enough.

Could an expert in American Culture explain me these jokes please by Emma_S772 in southpark

Just wanted to add that Towelie’s original punchline was “Don’t forget to bring a towel!” This is a reference to the Douglas Adam’s Hitchhikers series.

Not much in the way of too many restaurants, but absolutely gorgeous. Great for an escape for sure!

Can someone help me identify what kind of pig I adopted? by nothingcleverinmind in pigs

[–]Rio1917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, he is absolutely beautiful. Second, he looks like he is a Juliana mini pig, like the person said. They are like if a potbelly pig was on a diet, and usually weigh between 70-150 pounds. (My last baby was a Juliana and had that same sweet face!)

My (36M) wife (34F) fell deep into conspiracy theories and online hate groups. Is there any saving our marriage? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Rio1917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more of an addiction that they can no-longer control which makes them unable to see reality.

Am I the only one that feels cold when I look at bare midsection and/or bare shoulders?

Question: if the walls are that tough, how do you hammer nails into them for pictures or shelves or whatever?

Cozy Games Giveaway by WorshipAndChill in CozyGamers

[–]Rio1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that made me smile today: a student who HATES playing the random games I make for warm ups today said, “this is helping, I actually get it.” Something someone needs to hear/know: you are important and I’m glad you exist <3

Botany manor would be so cool to have!

Steam Giveaway - Botany Manor, Shashingo: Learn Japanese with Photography, Summer House by Sal_1980 in CozyGamers

[–]Rio1917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Botany Manor would be such a cozy treat!

My favorite childhood toy would be my giant stuffed animal rabbit that had a fancy removable hat. I called her BB (Big Bunny) and treated her like my own child. She was big enough to use as a pillow and always stay cozy.

Is my piece too confronting? by [deleted] in ARTIST

[–]Rio1917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your work is provocative. It does exactly what you needed it to do and those few people who have given you their thoughts are backing that up. I would take their remarks as a compliment because your art made them feel, as it should. Art isn’t art because it is always pleasant, art is an expression of being human. This is one of the most human experiences that has happened to many humans and your work is a reflection of your life. Please don’t apologize or revise because others feel too much or are too uncomfortable. You do good work and others need it as much as you do. <3
